Whos getting BOTTAS' seat next year ?

So what you think is going to happen next year then ?

Hamilton staying at Mercedes
Bottas dropped to Williams or McLaren ?

Russell joins Hamilton ?

exactly
if he went to Williams, he be the no.1 driver

Whilst Bottas is doing well, and has done frankly all through his Merc career I think he's gone, so my predictions:

Russell into Mercedes (I don't think there'll be any stupid contract clauses, much as the media likes to post random stuff Hamilton has never had or seemingly wanted that in the past, why now?)
If Raikkonen retires Bottas to replace him
Merc young driver into Williams to replace Russell
Other Alfa Romeo seat going to either Giovinazzi (unlikely?), Schumacher or one of the other Ferrari young drivers (most likely...)

+1

GR to Merc but the sounds of it !
just waiting for confirmation

Bottas to replace Kimi at Alfa it seems

I know George is a mercedes sponsored driver so to speak , but I can't help but think lando Norris would do better once he's used to the car

ShiWarrior · 3 Sep 2021 at 13:17

I'm not saying they won't
Lando is doing a fantastic job , he beats Ricardo

I just feel he needs a try in a Merc, and i think he'll be just as good as what George did last year , but he's already under contract with mclaren for a couple of years I believe

ShiWarrior · 5 Sep 2021 at 21:23

after the race today , i think it was pretty clear that Bottas is OUT

Can see brits dominating the 1 and 2 podiums next year.

Now that would be fantastic
Norris and Russell

my dad said something interesting today
actually i thought of it like last year, but slipped my mind

George is a long term replacement for Lewis

so LH is No.1 Driver
GR is No.2
Lewis retires

GR is now No.1

ShiWarrior · 7 Sep 2021 at 16:25

lewis is contracted for another year
